Job description:
We are currently looking for interns to join the Sandfield team. Ideally you will be in your second year of university studying for an Information Technology / Computer Science degree with the career aspirations to move into a software development role where you will be exposed to a wide range of technologies. At Sandfield we primarily use Microsoft tools, but we always choose the right technology for the job, whether it is a web based interface, a rugged mobile device, an iPhone or a back office suite.  Although everyone is exposed to the full SDLC and a wide range of technologies, each developer typically ends up becoming an expert in one or many areas, which through our open plan environment and our weekly training sessions, you'll be able to learn and gain experience at a rapid pace.

Requirements:
You will be self driven and motivated and be available for a minimum of 8 hours a week during term with the opportunity to work longer hours as part of the team during term break. The majority of our interns that we have had in the past have moved into permanent positions within Sandfield once their degrees have finished. We would be interested in looking at your CV and also a copy of your academic transcript to date - non-official is fine initially.

Benefits:
At Sandfield, we don’t have a back room – or a sales team either. Our programmers deal directly with our clients. We value business acumen and communication skills every bit as highly as programming experience. If you believe someone else has already figured out the best way of doing everything, you probably won’t enjoy working at Sandfield.Since 1988 we’ve been backing ourselves to deliver systems which leave more high-profile packages in their dust.  We are a tight-knit team of more than 50 highly-capable and often quick-witted colleagues; earning the respect of some of New Zealand’s biggest corporates like Mainfreight, Green Acres, NZ Thoroughbred Racing, NZ Defence Force, Ports of Auckland, Les Mills, and Interislander. We have a long history of building core transactional systems, critical to our client’s success.  Our databases process hundreds of thousands of transactions a day.  But these systems don't often stand on their own.  We provide our clients systems for finance, issue management, content management, EDI, RFID, customer portals, dashboards, BI reporting, 3rd party integration, mapping, and many more.  It's through our knowledge of our client's business that enables us to add value to nearly all aspects of their information systems.You’ll get to enjoy:Rapid advancement based on initiative and performanceVariety of workA supportive and social environmentRewards for your effort – a great salaryAn opportunity to work alongside some highly experienced developersAn opportunity to put your ideas to work on significant projectsThe chance to make a difference within major client businessesAn opportunity to be involved in the conceptual design as well as the full SDLCAcknowledgement from our clients for your contributionAn informal, non-bureaucratic, team-based environmentWhat we can promise is variety, innovation and the opportunity to extend yourself. We operate across a range of industries and technologies, and in a short space of time working for Sandfield, you’ll gain experience and skills that would have taken years to build up at other organisations. You’ll get the satisfaction of seeing a project through from beginning to end and being acknowledged for a job well done. And, if you’re up for the challenge, you’ll very quickly have the opportunity to move into a lead role.
